"Follow Uncle Gang into the city to escort the car?"
Xu Ning glanced at Guo Ye.
"Yes." Guo Ye explained: "By tomorrow, the medicinal materials for these three months will be collected. The day after tomorrow, my uncle is going to set off to transport the medicinal materials to Kangyun County, and deliver the goods to the medicinal material shop over there."
"Every time a shipment is made, my uncle will find a few good players to follow along with us." Guo Ye continued, "His recruitment requirements must either be a great success in external skills, or a level above the second level of the Mortal Realm in internal skills. , the conditions are met, I thought of you."
"so… "
Xu Ning understood.
According to what Tao Jinglu said before, the combat effectiveness of external skills has an advantage over internal skills in the early stage.
A small achievement in external skills is stronger than the first level of the Mortal Realm, and a large achievement in external skills should be about the same as the second level of the Mortal Realm. Tao Yungang's recruitment criteria should be based on this.
But this is just a separate comparison. Generally speaking, those who have practiced internal skills and external skills generally have a small level of achievement. People like Xu Ning who have not practiced internal skills and directly achieved great external skills are also a minority.
"By the way, I haven't told you about the reward yet." Guo Ye added, "It took five days to go back and forth on the road, and I will give you fifty taels of silver."
"Fifty taels of silver?"
Xu Ning was quite surprised, there were so many.
Don't look at the fact that I made three hundred and two taels of cool grass before, but that was very accidental.
These fifty taels are really relying on ability to take over the job.
"Think too much?"
Guo Ye smiled: "Fifty taels sounds like a lot, but it's actually not too much. On the way to the county, we may encounter horse bandits. If we really fight, there is a risk."
"But don't worry, my uncle is also going with him. He has the strength of the third level of the Mortal Realm and the strength of the Inner Prosperity Realm, and he has a great skill in Gaefeng Saber. Even if he encounters a horse bandit, his life should not be in danger."
Guo Ye added.
After hearing this, Xu Ning didn't respond immediately. He pondered for a moment, then nodded: "I'll follow."
Tao Yungang led the escort this time, so the safety was relatively guaranteed, and the rewards were generous.
Furthermore, as a martial artist, earning money must take some risks, which is what I will inevitably face in the future.
"Okay, I'll tell my uncle when I get back." Guo Ye waved his hands and stood up, "Okay, I'm leaving, my sister and brother-in-law will be back soon."
According to seniority, Guo Ye should be called Uncle Tao Yunchuan, he and Tao Yungang are of the same generation.
But she has a close relationship with Xu Ning, so she is called by Xu Ning's identity.
"Go back and practice your knife well."
Xu Ning reminded.
"remember."
Guo Ye responded.
"Uncle Ye, see you later."
"See you."
…
In the early morning of the next day, Xu Ning got up early and rushed to Tao Yungang's house.
Xu Ning has already told Tao Yunchuan and Xu Lian about the pressure on Tao Yungang.
Knowing that Tao Yungang, a master of inner wealth, led the team personally, both of them were relieved, so they agreed to Xu Ning to go.
At this time, the genius was dim, and Xu Ning went to Tao Yungang's house with a knife on his back.
Because of the business of medicinal materials, Tao Yungang's family background is considered wealthy in the entire Taojiazhuang.
His house is very big and looks very grand.
The courtyard door was wide open, Xu Ning walked in, and saw that in the spacious courtyard, the carts pulled by several donkeys had already been loaded.
Other than that, I haven't seen anyone else.
"Xu Ning, are you here so early?"
Guo Ye came out of the house.
"Are you going to deliver the goods this time?"
Xu Ning asked.
"I'll go as well."
Guo Ye nodded.
"You three-legged cat kung fu, are you good at it?"
Xu Ning asked back.
"I'm different from you guys. I'm talking about business." Guo Ye said, "My safety can only be guaranteed by you."
"Is Xu Ning here?"
At this moment, another person came out of the house.
The man looked to be in his forties, about the same age as the former coach Tao Yunmeng.
He has a strong build, bright eyes, and looks very fierce.
"Uncle Gang."
Xu Ning greeted.
These two people are Tao Yungang, Guo Ye's uncle.
Because of Guo Ye's relationship, they knew each other before.
"Good boy, you have mastered Gaefeng knife skills, and I haven't seen you mention it before."
Tao Yun just stepped forward and patted Xu Ning on the shoulder: "You are much better than Guo Ye."
"Uncle, you..."
Guo Ye pursed his mouth with a helpless expression.
"Wait for a while, others will come soon."
Tao Yungang said.
Just as Tao Yungang said, after a while, five more people arrived one after another.
They all looked older than Xu Ning, the youngest of them must be in their twenties, and the oldest one was about the same age as Tao Yungang.
They were either holding knives or carrying spears, and they were probably from Taojiazhuang.
Seeing that everyone was present, Tao Yun just walked up to them.
"Everyone is here, we are ready to go."
Tao Yungang looked at several people: "Before departure, I will send you the reward for this trip."
As he said that, Tao Yungang took out six fifty-two silver bills and placed them in the hands of Xu Ning and the other six.
Xu Ning was a little surprised.
Salaries are usually settled after the fact, and Tao Yungang is very rare.
Guo Ye seemed to see Xu Ning's doubts, and explained in Xu Ning's ear: "It's rare for everyone to go to the city, and my uncle gave me the reward in advance, so that it is convenient for everyone to go to the city to buy some favorite things."
Suddenly, Xu Ning nodded silently.
The rest of the people who got the money also clasped their fists to express their gratitude. Everyone seemed to be used to it, and it was obviously not the first time that they followed Tao Yungang to escort the car.
"Okay, ready to go."
Tao Yun just started to arrange: "There are four cars in total, eight of us. Yunquan and I are in the first car, Xu Ning and Guo Ye are in the second car, and you can arrange the rest by yourself."
Guo Ye basically has no self-protection ability, and Xu Ning has no experience in escorting a car for the first time, so they are all placed behind Tao Yungang.
Soon, several people got into the donkey cart, left Taojiazhuang, and rushed towards Kangyun County Cheng.
"It's really desolate..."
After leaving Taojiazhuang, the population becomes sparse.
The world is relatively chaotic, except for some powerful martial arts masters, everyone lives together.
Guo Ye and Xu Ning sat together, chatting casually.
With the speed of this donkey cart, it would take close to a day from Taojiazhuang to Kangyun County, which is not a short distance.
Soon, two hours passed, and the scorching sun was in the sky.
In late autumn, the sun is still vicious.
On the desolate mountain road, several people ate pancakes, drank water, and prepared lunch.
"Hurry up and eat, and keep your spirits up." Tao Yungang stuffed himself with a mouthful of big cake, "On the mountain road ahead, there is a high chance of horse bandits appearing."
"Horse bandits?"
Hearing this, Xu Ning and the others cheered up.
Everyone tensed up and looked up at the hillsides on both sides of the road.
The hillside is slightly steep, the mountain is very high, and there are overgrown trees during the period. If someone suddenly comes down from the mountain, it is indeed a very dangerous situation.
"Beware of the gravel."
Tao Yungang reminded.
During the advance, there were also gravel falling from the mountain.
However, the gravel is not large in size, so it can be easily avoided.
Although Tao Yungang is a master of inner wealth, Tao Yungang is also a little apprehensive.
This section of road is the most likely place to be robbed.
But this time everyone seemed to be lucky. It took more than half an hour to pass through the mountains on both sides, and there were no obstacles.
"My heart was tense just now, and it's fine."
After passing the dangerous section, Guo Ye breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Ning didn't reply, just turned his head and looked at the valley that was getting farther and farther away.
The blazing sun and the autumn wind, the shadows of the trees swaying, and the weeds are thick, it is very desolate.
However, just after Xu Ning and his party passed through the valley, on one side of the hillside, more than a dozen figures dressed as horse bandits appeared from the hillside.
Among them, the leader is a bald man.
He was wearing a sleeveless jacket, his arms were muscular, and his face was full of flesh. At first glance, he was not a simple character.
Beside the bald man, a hook-nosed man with a broken arm stared coldly at the place where Xu Ning and his party disappeared, with murderous intent in his eyes.
"The leader is Tao Yungang?"
The bald man asked to the man with the broken arm.
"That's him, the kid behind him with the black eyebrows and mouse eyes is his nephew, his name is Guo Ye."
The voice of the man with the broken arm was a little hoarse, and there was irrepressible hatred in his tone.
